Are you moving to a new home and don’t know how to move your gym equipment without damaging it? Packing and moving your gym equipment can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
Clean, Sanitize and Prepare your Workout Gear before Moving
Just like all other home goods, exercise equipment should be prepared and cleaned before packing and moving them, so that transfer of nasty bacteria and germs to your new home is prevented;
Hand weights, Dumbbells, Barbells and Exercise Balls
Whether you own multiple sets of heavyweight plates or light hand weights, you should make sure the carton boxes which will hold them are made of strong and robust quality.
Note: if you don’t find the right kind of box to pack weights, try to use plastic bins that can handle the load.
Treadmill
Before you begin moving the treadmill, get the user manual out and check particulars like how heavy it weighs, does it have a visible lock/unlock mechanism, and so on.
Stationary Bike
Get some moving blankets (or furniture blankets) to protect your bike and avoid scratches or damages.
Protect your floors with cardboard pieces, towels, or furniture sliders while moving the bike in and out of your house.
Weightlifting Machine
Remove all weights one by one and place them on the ground; wrap the weight bars in towels to keep them from getting scratched and to prevent the metal bars from damaging any other goods while moving.
You may pack the weight bars into carton boxes after securing them in padding (using towels); however, make sure that you use small cartons and keep the boxes light.
